CWM can't see the backups in the '0' folder, it stores them on /data/media (or is it /media/data??) so unless you have a file manager with root access you won't get them back
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BaMaDuDe87:
My my my you are the man. It looks like it is data/media/clockworkmod/backups.

I am going to try to Restore my latest 4.1.2 nandroid tonight, after I had a chance to back every thing up, but I'm guessing it's going to keep the current file structure though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] deepayanneogi:
The best way to upgrade to 4.2.1 from 4.1.2 is

1.Flash all factory images from fastboot apart from recovery,@ recovery step flash twrp 2.3.3.0 and you are all set to no '/0' bug,

2. Downgrade to 4.1.2 ? Flash factory images of 4.1.2 , just keep the recovery as twrp 2.3.3.0, at present it is the best possible recovery for maguro for handling the '/0' bug , it doesnot delete the layout file.

And restoring nandroids in between the versions can make every file very clumsy, take some time and flash stock images to get rid of that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
After downgrading you will still have the /0/ folder with all data. So many apps wont recognize that the backups are there available to be restored. You can just point to the "new" backup location that now exists in the /0/ directory.

Example: Titanium backup will tell you there is no restore data unless you go into preference and point it to the right folder in /0/.

Example 2: Nova launcher will not see the backups. Manually move them via Root explorer or similar from the /0/data/ to the /data/

..and so on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BaMaDuDe87:
I guess I will be flashing the factory image then.

1. Backup everything I need/want (photos, notes, sms, and grab latest copy of titanium backup folder)

2. Format system/cache/sdcard just because

3. fastboot - factory image (4.1.2)

4. Phone should still be unlocked/rooted (on current bootloader/radios correct?)

5. fastboot - twrp

5. Restore everything else

Or use Wugs to take back to stock, then fastboot unlock, root, add CWM recovery might be the easier way at this point. Restore nandroid and everything else. Then add TWRP and remove CWM.

Sorry trying to talk this out with you guys and wrap my head around what I am in for. I know it's not hard, just frustrating to think I could possibly lose some things.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jrgilbert79:
Better Recovery TWRP

Not to be bossy but the latest version of TWRP seems to do a better job handling user folder /0. Its also touchscreen and B4D@$$ so there is really no comparison....:highfive::cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BaMaDuDe87:
Yea I tried it, thought I was more comfortable with CWM and this bit me in the ass, so TWRP it is when I get everything straightened out

Didn't see another posting, or I'm VERY late to the party...

http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/2237774/samsung-will-launch-an-8in-galaxy-note-at-mwc

"This news doesn't come from a loose-lipped Samsung staffer, it comes from Samsung Mobile president J.K. Shin. Speaking to Korean news website News1, Shin revealed that the firm will unveil the 8in Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 at the Barcelona mobile technology show in a few weeks.

Although Shin didn't reveal what we can expect from the Galaxy Note 8.0, there's talk that the device will feature Google's Android 4.2 Jelly Bean mobile operating system, a quad-core 1.6GHz processor, dual cameras, microSD memory expansion and a 4,600mAh battery. As it carries Samsung's Galaxy Note branding, we're assuming that it will come with a stylus and Samsung's productivity focused software features.

The Inquirer (http://s.tt/1yJMH)"
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] younix258:
i would be excited except i feel like the note 10.1 is the perfect size. the only interesting part about this is the fact that it might come with 4.2 which would probably mean an update for us or at least some very decent ports.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] jamesc760:
I agree, had the Nexus 7 for a week or so before returning it and getti g my Note 10.1. The big screen works better for sketching and writing notes, a lot easier on my old eyes as well. Am not going back to 7 or 8 inch screen, samsung, make it a 12 inch and I will buy 3.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Riki1kenobi:
I really don't understand Samsung. Guess I'm not alone on that one, but diluting the Note line is madness.

By all means release an 8 inch tablet, but I wonder how many people will buy a Note 2/3 now? I wouldn't buy an 8 inch note having used the note 1 and the note 10.1 I am still looking to buy a Note 2. I think its creating confusion in an already crazily confused line.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] ExploreMN:
Well, as I posted in another thread, the size of the Note 10.1 is an issue (for me at least) and I was very happy with the size of the Nexus 7, but I really wanted a fine tip stylus like the s-pen. So I'm thinking when the 8 is out I might sell the 10.1 to get that one. Assuming of course it meets other requirements (price, MicroSD slot, ability to be rooted).

As for coming with 4.2 - umm...that's kind of a downgrade. LOL I had it on my Nexus 7 AND my Galaxy Nexus...both are back on 4.1.2 which is much nicer, more stable, more app compatible, and less of a headache.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] demandarin:
I think I'd be interested in a 8in. Version. I do already have 2 nexus 7's and looking to get a note 2 phone..lol I love my Nexus 7. Only way I would get this 8in. Is if it has a higher resolution screen or its vastly superior to Nexus7 one. The processor in this upcoming device sounds good. But I think this is needed by Samsung. As the Ipad mini is doing very well. So well that it has cannabilized the sales of its larger counterpart. Apple plans on releasing a new updated ipad4/5. Which will be lighter and with bezels similar to Ipad mini. A new Ipad mini will release also. It'll have retina display and the new processor found in latest Ipad. Apple has finally realized they can't wait whole years to release devices. Android is releasing new tablets and phones like hotcakes. Android has finallyncaught up to the point to where its making apple do things it normally didn't do. Yes apple still selling well, But everyone is seeing its not the untouchable company it use to be. There's no new innovation happening at apple. They only giving people what they want versus how Steve jobs use to giving people what "HE" THOUGHT they'd need. You've already seen how apple shares have been plummetting. They already losing badly on the phone front to Android. Android is the most widely used mobile operating in the world. Internationally. With the mobile space moving towards mobile computing, Android is seen as the better OS. IOS is stale now and seen as stagnant as far as innovation goes. Tech sites and reviewers that were hard core apple fanatics and biased are finally seeing this. Investors are scared now at apples future. So the way apple is reacting is to release devices more frequently to keep them more competitive throughout the "ENTIRE" year.

Apple Ipad mini has been sort of a success. Last thing android need is apple trying to take over the small tablet segment. Nexus 7 was a huge success for Google and Asus. Now its time for Samsung to release a great quality 8in. Tablet to stay competitive. IMO, the smaller galaxy tab sucks..lol. the 8in. Note would blow it away on features and capabilities. They will likely phase out the smaller tab line. And replace it with the smaller note. Since the note 10.1 was so well received in its qualities and sales. Consumer reports even rate our tablet higher than new Ipad. And all they ever use to do was praise/be biased towards apple. Not anymore. They see the nkteb10.1 for what it is. Which is its a great device.

Samsung needs tl release this asap. To put apple in check. I'd easily see people getting a 8in. Note over an Ipad mini. Based on features and capabilities alone. Lets do it Samsung! Lol

On my nexus7 I'm running TeamEOS 4 nightlies, which is on 4.2.1. Runs great for me and no issues with anything or app capabilities. Very stable and major improvement over previous versions, IMO. Definitely glad I upgrade j.b. version. Now all my devices on JB(my note 10.1, 2 nexus 7's, and my Samsung Galaxy S3).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] madsquabbles:
i'd prefer an 8.9 (or 9") like the gt 8.9 i had. i'd get rid of my nook hd+ if they keep the gn8 easy to root. that nook hd+ gets some incredible standby time. it's been 10 days since i've used it and i'v only lost 8%.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] asdfuogh:
I understand that a lot of people like having tablets in the 7"-9" range.. but to me, it's kind of silly. I mean, my phone is decently big already, and my tablet is medium sized in any sense of the word. I feel like Samsung should march on with the Multiwindow features and stick them on bigger tablets (if I got another tablet, I'd want it the size of my computer monitor right now, or at least maybe 13"-15"), but of course, I don't know how Samsung determined the marketability of these devices so maybe they have their own reasons.. :/
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] gronimo21:
Icrap mini killer is on the way for 199 I might want one I mean the note is 5.5 my note is 10.1 y not finish it with the 8
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] jappy01:
planning on waiting for this model to come out ever since the rumors started on it.

but i am glad that i already got the Note 10.1

this Note 8 will be my primary phone and well the Note 10.1 will be the tablet with phone features.

i am really glad that samsung made a tablet with phone features. no regrets or complain about it.

=)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] MouseTheLuckyDog:
Actually the perfect size for a note would be 11x8.5.

Why that's the size of a letter sized legal pad, something I'm used to.

Not only that. The paper industry has been making legal pads for over 100 years. They know what size works best.

Plus drawers, briefcases, backpacks are designed for letter sized legal pads.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] asdfuogh:
Hmm, then it'd probably be more like 12x10 to account for the bezels..
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] pwatkins:
Only in America - the rest of the world uses A4!!

Anyway, with a bezel, that's too big for a Tablet - IMO.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] xuanphucn:
agree. I have the note 10.1 and i think its not big enough for me to take notes. sometime I feel like I need something bigger lol. I would say 8'' is just too small to take notes
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] madsquabbles:
yeah, you guys use some weird 8. somthing by 11.29 sheet.

also, legal is actually 8.5x14. us letter is 8.5x11.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] legion1911:
Unfortunately these crazy things happen all the time.

What about the Tab 2 that was released days after the tab plus and tab 7.7, ruining the market for those fine devices because noobs think that of course a tab 2 is faster then a tab plus or Tab 7.7. The Tab 2 is a downgrade in specs and is much cheaper then the tab 7.7. A cheaper, downgraded device with a name that sounds like an upgrade. How crazy was that?

And they wanted to release the Note 10.1 with some old exynos or even old omap processor, thank god somebody woke up and they decided to modify the note and put the newer exynos into it.

In 2012, Samsung released more then 170 Android device types (not including the different colors).

Samsung wants to cover every small niche, hoping it is what people are waiting for.

Samsung has to go after the Nexus 7 market, so they have to get out with something 7/8 Inch.

And.... we are now used to it.... but the Note concept was the phablet, half phone/ half tablet...

Remember: is it a phone? is it a tablet? no, it is a Note!

So when they announced the Note 10.1 many thought, wtf... a 10 inch Phablet? a 10 inch notebook?

Our note is a Tablet. The Wifi model is certainly not a Phablet. So they spent millions to build the phablet concept and then they spread it to a 10.1 device.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] pwatkins:
Who's weird??

Of the 196 countries in the world 194 use (mostly 100 percent) the International Standards Association (ISO216) standard for paper sizes. Only TWO (USA and Canada) use the variety of "weird" sizes that you refer to - 8.5x11.5 inch 8.5x14 inch and also 8x10.5 inch (a few more countries are still using inches - but not many).

The rest of the world uses a highly logical system based on the aspect ratio of 1 to sq root 2. This starts with the base A0 which is 1 sq metre.

Successive paper sizes in the series A1, A2, A3, and so forth, are defined by halving the preceding paper size along the larger dimension. The most frequently used paper size is A4 measuring 210 by 297 millimetres (8.3 in × 11.7 in).

The significant advantage of this system is its scaling: if a sheet with an aspect ratio of Rt2 is divided into two equal halves parallel to its shortest sides, then the halves will again have an aspect ratio of Rt2. Folded brochures of any size can be made by using sheets of the next larger size, e.g. A4 sheets are folded to make A5 brochures. The system allows scaling without compromising the aspect ratio from one size to another—as provided by office photocopiers, e.g. enlarging A4 to A3 or reducing A3 to A4. Similarly, two sheets of A4 can be scaled down and fit exactly 1 sheet without any cutoff or margins. Weights are easy to calculate as well: a standard A4 sheet made from 80 gram/m2 paper weighs 5 grams (as it is one 16th of an A0 page, measuring 1 m2), allowing one to easily compute the weight—and associated postage rate—by counting the number of sheets used.

The US uses a complete mish-mash of systems purportedly based on a quarter of the reach of a paper vatman's arms!! No-one has any idea how the aspect ratio evolved.

To make a computing device based on these principles - for just one country in the world (Canada is slowly changing to ISO sizes) - would truly be weird!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] legion1911:
You noticed they managed to have us all use their inches to describe screen sizes?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] bluzman:
What's "highly logical" about an aspect ratio of 1 to square root of 2.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] MouseTheLuckyDog:
Hey. We got inches from those crazy Brits.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] silverbladef:
I love this, but chances are I'm not getting it. I use my 10.1 for school and it's barely enough to write notes on, an 8" is absolutely too small for that. This would be perfect for someone who reads e-books and wants to annotate them or something of that nature.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] JasonGeiger:
I could see use for it if I didn't have a phone as large as the note 2. I just got the 10.1 and probably didn't need to get it but its getting more use than my phone at home. I guess time will tell if one sits more than the other.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] FlamingGoat:
Excellent, I love how Samsung seem to bring out a model to suit everyone, even though this isn't for me personally. I'd really love a 12"or even up to 14" for reading and annotating (pdf technical stuff).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] legion1911:
More photos, too small for surfing (for me).

It has a Smartphone GUI.

Photo comparison with Note 2.

More Note devices out there = more Note owners = more Note apps for all Note devices. :)

Engadet has a glance at the specs as it passes through the FCC. It looks like it will have a Galaxy Tab Note moniker. http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/25/samsung-gt-n5110-galaxy-note-8.0-fcc/
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] marahadje:
I wished Samsung would get a higher resolution. I love the Note but when compared with an Ipad 3 or 4 I wish I had that screen with my Note hardware.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mke1973:
I think the issue is the wacom digitizer. You can have a retina display with a capacitive stylus or a note at a lower resolution but a wacom digitizer and superior stylus performance.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mi7chy:
Note II and Note 10.1 look nice compared to this semi-fugly Note 8 which looks like it was designed by the S III team. As far as size, the way I see it the Note 8 is for people who want the largest phone tablet that fits in a business jacket pocket and don't want to daily carry a full size 10.1" tablet. When it comes to full size Note tablet I think 12-14" is more ideal along with 1200p resolution.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] ExploreMN:
I don't think the Note 8 is a phone...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] inmnbob:
Well I have several tablets which include an iPad, a note 10.1, an HTC View (7" with digital pen) and the new 12" Windows Ativ. Of all of them I like the View for note taking. It is the perfect size for meetings and putting in my suit pocket. The bigger tablets are often too big to carry to meetings and I found a little distracting to others.

I am anxiously waiting for the note 8 with the Spen as a note taking device at work, The absolutely best solution for me would be an 8 inch tablet with windows 8 and OneNote that had an Spen .
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] zerookool:
I hope that it will come with gorilla glass. The other specs are ok for me.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] gpgalanis:
It looks terrible. Or like a joke. Instead of shrinking Note 10.1 they magnified Note 2.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] sandresimon:
As I own a Note 10.1 I am not interested in a 8" model, but I am very happy to see the Note product line expanding and having success. It means better support and potential evolutions of the Samsung S-Pen apps, and better attractiveness to the pen-centric tablets to the developpers.

It is amazing to see that almost the entire Samsung tablet product line (including the Windows 8 tablets) is equipped with an active digitizer. I suppose the Galaxy Note (and now Note 2) success has proven that having a stylus is indeed practical if the device can remain light and portable.

Keep up the good work Samsung, I want more kickass pen apps on my Note 10.1!

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mke1973:
There will be an international 3G version that can make phone calls, but that model won't be sold in the US, however, here should be some US sellers who import them into the US. Unfortunately, Samsung's pricing remains sky-high on this product. The 16GB WIFI model went on sale in the UK for the equivalent of $519 USD. That is too high IMHO.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] kisrita:
It is showing up at $399 in Office Depot (out of stock). Still too high in my opinion. $60 more than the iPad mini gets you an sd card slot, digitizer and ir remote control. $200 more than the Nexus 7 (or two Nexus 7 vs. one Note 8 gets you the same extras, plus a rear camera. Screen would be better than the iPad mini for a short time until the iPad mini 2 is released which is rumored anywhere from "soon" to next fall. Same for the Nexus 7 2nd generation which is expected to be announced next month. The Nexus 7 2nd generation may have a slightly smaller screen though, rumors have circulated for 7", 7.7" and 8".

I was really looking forward to this tablet, but at this price very few will buy it. Which means less support and less updates from Samsung. When the new Nexus 7 is released with Key Lime Pie, the Note 8 will still be on the first Jellybean, (two major OS behind). T his concerns me greatly because of my experience with Samsung's first flagship 10" device I purchased that was abandoned much too soon. My Galaxy Tab 10.1 was FINALLY updated to Ice Cream Sandwich AFTER my Nexus phone and Nexus tablet was updates to Jellybean! This experience leads me to believe that the Note 8 could also be abandoned after only one year and turn into a similarly difficult to use, very slow and laggy device.

However I'm still somewhat tempted to continue to consider the Note 8. Can any of you come up with reasons I've forgotten that might make it worth it?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] ExploreMN:
I understand that, but just because something can "make calls" doesn't make it a phone. It is still a tablet if you ask me. I mean hell, if you had a full sized desktop computer with a modem in it, it can "make calls" but I'm pretty sure no one would confuse it with being a phone, right? Same concept here.

---------- Post added at 11:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 AM ----------

I would consider this a fair release price with the price going to about $349 in 6 months or so. You knock off that $80-100 digitizer and you have something comparable to the Nexus 7 in price. This is a specialty tablet, plain and simple. It is geared toward people who want and enjoy using a fine-tip stylus for whatever reason, so any comparison tablet is already not in the same league. You would have to find comparable tablets with an active digitizer which leaves us with very few comparable devices. Surface Pro? Meh... That Lenovo POS? Nah... What else?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] GreenFuzzer:
They seem to be in stock at Newegg. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834131456 So what do you think now?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mke1973:
Cell phones are getting larger, with more 6"units to be rolled out this year by a number of manufacturers. With BT headsets, it's not really an issue. People want a larger screen on their portable devices. The international 3G version of the 8"Note will have a phone dialer, unlike the US LTE data only versions that will launch later due to carrier involvement.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] fix-this!:
Im be getting this. Kinda shocked there is no root or forums for the tab yet.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mmcnulty:
I cannot understand the people who compare its price to other tablets without anything like the s-pen. It truly makes me think they are idiots. I dont mean that to start a fight. I mean it as, the s-pen is such a massive difference in itself that other devices are not comparable to devices with it, not the other way around.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] GreenFuzzer:
Funny you should say that. I had a similar discussion earlier today with my Aunt when she stated her college age twin sons are due to upgrade their cell phones at the end of April. They had been so excited by their sister's iPhoneG4 they were sure they should get one. I tried to explain that the Note II was a much better choice and why. You would have though I had three heads and was speaking some language from outer space. One is a music junkie going into building trades the other is into photograph and is going into the art field. That info alone tells me they need removable storage. :silly:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] fix-this!:
anyone know how to root the note 8.0 yet? i see no forums for it on xda.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] quazimojo:
I would say certainly try the Note 2 toolkit and if not it someone will probably figure it out within the first week.

Everything i keep reading around the web basically says its priced to high for what it is and i was really looking at this device with great interest but after reading about the battery life not being all that great and it having an LCD screen i really am going to wait awhile to decide.

I like what i have seen so far though but those couple sore points really have put me off from the overall package i was looking forward to.

Im sure battery life can be addressed with ROMS and kernels to some degree but the screen ....
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] jpfx:
coming from a note 10.1, it's fantastic.
